Rebecca,
I am assuming that you need no assistance with pronunciation and that you are asking for a translation of the term (or terms), not of the context.
My able colleagues above have given you a full array of synonyms for each of the terms. My advice for you in this regard is to use your judgment (and perhaps the advice of colleagues) to discern the most appropriate choice in light of the intended use and intended readership. Regional considerations here are paramount.

The transliteration of the above:
Hazha nawa shajari alfakihah min shajarat-il-tuffah wa shajarati-il-kummithra wa shajarat-il-durraq.
For peach you can also use khawkh خَوخ. Be careful to pronounce it with "fatha" over the "kha", i.e. kha-wkh, and not khokh as is common in Egypt.

I had ommitted one word from my previous answer, other than that it stays the same.
Rather than translate the sentence purely to give the meaning, I tried to give it a literary tinge similar to the original.
